  1. Phi Theta Kappa - Haven't we all been invited?

    anon695 replied to SDChargersGirl#31's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My personal opinion is that if you don't already hold a bachelor's degree, it may be worth it to join for the scholarship opportunities. If you do have a previous bachelor's in another field, I don't...

  2. Is it common....

    anon695 replied to lillian2010's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Read the whole chapter, don't just "look through" it. Get some supplemental study material. There are lots of books out there, and I highly recommend "Fundamentals Success". It's a book about test...

  3. If the job market is so terrible right now...

    anon695 replied to jayandaroo88's topic in General Nursing

    There are still some diploma programs out there. I'm in a hybrid hospital based diploma/associate program. The hospital-based school works with the local community college as a partnership, it's...

  4. If the job market is so terrible right now...

    anon695 replied to jayandaroo88's topic in General Nursing

    If you can afford to start Nursing School now, I'd say go for it. The job market for EVERYTHING is bad right now, and there is also no way to predict what it will be like in 2 years when you...

  5. Group project

    anon695 replied to Hospice Nurse LPN's topic in General Students

    I've found with group projects that it is impossible to make all group members do an equal share of the work. One or two people do the majority of the work, the others get a lighter load. It's just...

  6. Hardest part of nursing school is...

    anon695 replied to RedXIII_'s topic in General Students

    When I have to do it, I treat it like it's an acting/improv scene, on stage. My "role" is the nurse, and I have to play that role correctly and make it look like real

  7. French culture questions

    anon695 replied to shaversd's topic in General Students

    France? I think whatever cultural differences you will find are going to be derived from religion, not because someone is French in Nationality. Most people in France are either Catholic, Secular...

  8. icky question....but

    anon695 replied to glitterygirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I already had a bachelor's degree, so I wasn't eligible for any financial aid. So I'm paying for NS 100% out of my own savings. I go to a hybrid diploma/AAS program (hospital school affiliated with...

  9. new grad who didn't get into a specific nursing program

    anon695 replied to dedicate's topic in General Nursing

    You can try, but you'll probably get a stock answer like "you were an excellent candidate, but more qualified candidates were selected". I used to work in HR before I went to nursing school, and I can...

  10. How valuable is my externship experience when I graduate?

    anon695 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    Question for new graduates - did you complete an externship when you were a student, and if so, how has that impacted your job search upon graduation? I know the job market is awful for everyone now,...

  11. How much time do you *really*spend studying?

    anon695 replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I studied less and less as I completed each semester. I have an A average (95%) and a 4.0 GPA Nursing 1: Fundamentals: about 4-5 hours/day, pretty much every day Nursing 2: Med-Surg and Psychiatric:...

  12. Peers critical of my new grad job choice

    anon695 replied to MissCharlieRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It sounds like your classmates are jealous because you found a job and they didn't, and this is just "sour grapes" on their

  13. Please help me...Do you think I'll get kicked out of nursing school?

    anon695 replied to gtrebyari's topic in General Students

    I'm 99% sure this isn't grounds for expulsion at any school. The instructor is mad that you were disrespectful to her. Expect to be chewed out in her office, but I doubt you'll be expelled. And in the...

  14. Have anxiety issues over making friends

    anon695 replied to krazykchan's topic in General Students

    I used to be terrible at making friends as well, until I somehow became mature enough to figure out the right approach to it. Thankfully I had figured it out prior to starting nursing school: 1. Be...

  15. Small nose piercings at work?

    anon695 replied to SarahAnn10's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I've seen it's fine at my school and clinical sites, since a small nose stud is often worn for religious/cultural

  16. How was your Externship ?

    anon695 replied to DaddyO's topic in General Students

    An externship is a paid summer job for a nursing student. You apply and interview for an externship program just like a job. Externship spots are very limited and therefore extremely competitive to...

  17. Externship

    anon695 replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    I'm currently doing an externship. I'm in a hospital-based 2-year diploma program, and going into my second (senior) year this fall. It's great experience, all those extra hours on the floor will put...

  18. Gift for summer externship preceptor?

    anon695 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm currently doing a summer externship, and I want to start planning for an end-of-program gift for my preceptor. I am the only student assigned to the preceptor, and I'm not sure what is appropriate...

  19. Tired of the CNA Lecture *Mini-rant*

    anon695 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I wasn't a CNA before I started nursing school and I did just fine (in my class of 50+ we only had one CNA). In NJ you can take the CNA exam after a year of nursing school without extra CNA training,...

  20. Grades don't matter! Are you sure??????

    anon695 replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    Every externship I applied to required a transcript, and when I looked at the application process for new grad internships in preparation for next year, those were requiring a transcript as well. So...

  21. Is this the career of an RN?!

    anon695 replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on the hospital and the floor. In the hospitals where I've had clinical, nurses do what needs to be done but often the CNAs are the ones doing the bed-baths, toileting, etc. As...

  22. uk girl wanting to study in the us(any state).i have dual nationality British and US.

    anon695 replied to Uk girl's topic in General Students

    If you're a US citizen then you wouldn't need any sponsorship. You'd be just like everybody else here. However, I suggest you stay in the UK no matter how disenchanted with it you are. Everything here...

  23. How is 2010 treating new RN graduates?

    anon695 replied to bearscrubs75's topic in General Nursing

    Well I'm sorry to offend you with my presence in the nursing field because according to you I don't belong here, as a pesky caucasion women who previously went to a fancy "ivy-leaguish" school in the...

  24. My Review of Lincoln Tech

    anon695 replied to Donald11's topic in General Students

    10% of students who declare a nursing major graduate from the CC RN program, or 10% of the RN program students graduate? There's a big difference between those figures, as I'm sure there are thousands...

  25. Has anyone heard of this?

    anon695 replied to Dynas12180's topic in General Students

    VERY strange. Usually state or city schools have no problem taking credits from community college (especially if the CC was in the same state) and wouldn't ask you to pay
